According to his literary agent, Politico reports.
“He’s going to live ... That’s the important thing,” [the agent] said. The attack was along the lines of what Rushie and his agent have thought was the “principal danger ... a random person coming out of nowhere and attacking... So you can’t protect against it because it’s totally unexpected and illogical"....

And if it happens in a Progressive city, (and Buffalo is a Progressive city in NY) the attacker will be right back out on the streets to do it again.
Inconvenient violence. The press prefers more narrative friendly incidents so much so that not only is the Rushdie attack ignored, but obvious hoaxes have since been promoted.
“He’s going to live.” Perhaps he’ll transform his suffering into something redemptive. God bless him, he has an arduous climb ahead.
"the “principal danger ... a random person coming out of nowhere and attacking... So you can’t protect against it because it’s totally unexpected and illogical"
Sorry, no: not random, not unexpected, and, by the logic of Islam, not illogical.
It's neither unexpected nor illogical, obviously. But you still can't protect against it directly. You have to go to the source, do more to root out fundamentalist Islam from the civilized countries of the world.
But, of course, we won't. It's a religion of peace, don't you know. Just a billion lone wolves. Totally unexpected and illogical.
As a young lawyer I heard the Nebraska Chief Justice speak on crime. He said we can't really explain crime. But the real point is that crime is irrational and we have to protect against it. These criminals don't have our values. They need to be caught and punished.
That's why the "security" business is such a big business. Forty years ago, it was unheard of.
We have to totally push back against the pro crime policies of the Dems. The tiny city of Lincoln, Nebraska has had 8 murders since May. Eight!
My back window was broken by a criminal on Sunday night. That cost me $500. Second time this has happened to me in three years. The first time my Orvis briefcase and Barbour coat was stolen. I've lost nearly $3,000 to crime in the past three years. And, yes, I blame the Dems.
And as an aside, Biden has let about 5 million illegals into this country. How much extra crime is that? Add that to the Religion of Peace's invasion of the US and crime (and security) will be a growth industry for as far as the eye can see. Thanks, Dems! You've ruined the greatest country in the history of the world.
Iran’s version of the Religion of the sword wins one.
From the Politico piece ... Iran has denied involvement in the attack.
Good to know.
Rough crowd, rough crowd. Reminds me of my high school. Are you kidding me, why at my high school, after we sacked the quarterback, we went after his family!

Trying to silence the political opposition. “He’s going to live ... That’s the important thing,” the agent said of the Rubio supporter. Oops, sorry. Lost my head there.
Is it unexpected?
Is it illogical?
One might disagree with the axioms of Islam as openly interpreted and accepted by a significant portion of that ideology's followers across the globe, but from there the end result is neither difficult to logically deduce nor shocking when it occurs.
Glad we have decided to make our own country a battleground/marketplace of ideas for these people who came here from far away!
...for certain values of "unexpected."
"So you can’t protect against it because it’s totally unexpected and illogical."
What absolute defeatist bullshit. Everyone knew that his life was in constant threat. Western society and law enforcement failed him. We equated words with violence and somehow fooled ourselves into not preparing for the actual violence.
"So you can’t protect against it"
Well, you could not go on stage a public literary event in western New York.
How can someone do so much damage, in a room full of people, before somebody comes to your aide?
I don’t get it.
“So you can’t protect against it because it’s totally unexpected and illogical,” [Andrew Wylie] said.
You can't protect against it in the State of New York, that, at least, is true. You can be sure Kathy Hochul wouldn't appear at the Chautauqua Institution without about a dozen uniformed and plain clothes security guards, some armed with M4 carbines.
But then, her life is worth protecting, is it not?
Actually it was totally expected and logical.
How many of us were even surprised when it happened?
Totally unexpected and illogical . . .
That's a really good description of Islam.
In one recent week here in Columbus, Ohio, four teenagers were shot and killed. Other crimes are also climbing upwards, including assaults and carjackings.
When I've listened to various politicians and police spokespeople, I hear the same tired old platitudes. "We need to come together as a community." "We're sending a message - this is not okay." Not one person has had the guts to link the rise in crime to the anti-police sentiment of the past two years.
It's the "Sudden Jihad Syndrome" which is also known as "Islamophobia" by the left. Major Hassan at Fort Hood committed "workplace violence" and the FBI found that he was just fine.
Prior to the shooting, Hasan expressed critical views described by colleagues as "anti-American". An investigation conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) concluded his e-mails with the late Imam Anwar al-Awlaki were related to his authorized professional research and he was not a threat.
Of course, he was not a right winger walking around the Capitol on Jan 6, 2020. THey are the only terrorists the FBI can find.
It would be ideal if law enforcement could prevent crime, but it can't, at least within the bounds of our Constitution (a good thing, that).
It would be nice if law enforcement and the judiciary could decrease crime, by separating criminals from the rest of us, but it can't, at least within the bounds of current politics (not a good thing).
The next step is to leave law enforcement out of it. If you catch someone damaging your house or car, breaking your window, or stealing your stuff, just go ahead and beat the carp out of him. Leave him bleeding in the street. After several episodes of this, he'll find another line of work.
Unfortunately, in many jurisdictions, the victim of the criminal would then become the victim of the state.
Fortunately, I'm in the jury pool.
""... Rushdie suffered three serious wounds to his neck and 15 more wounds to his chest and torso in the attack that took away sight in an eye and left a hand incapacitated.""
An attack like that would take at least a minute to carry out.
Did anyone in the crowd go try to stop the attack?
Our establishments have been taken over by people who applaud and encourage violence like this.
The Biden Regime and the people that support it are happy Rushdie got stabbed because it sends the message they want sent to people who oppose them.
When seconds count, police are minutes away.
Criminals that commit crimes that result in the victim suffering life long pain and disability should be subject to the death penalty.
You conceive of civility as a rough synonym for politeness, hence your maxim that "calls for civility are always bullshit." But civility also has a more profound meaning, embodied in the belief it's uncivil (literally, barbarous) to threaten to carve another human being to pieces because you disagree with what he says.
“So you can’t protect against it because it’s totally unexpected and illogical,” he said.
Translation: "We know there are crazy people who want to hurt Rushdie, but security is expensive."
